Ethiopia Yirgacheffe

Ethiopia is a land of legend, one of its most famous being the discovery of coffee. This beautiful coffee from the Yirgacheffe region is a natural process coffee, allowing it to express some of the bright and fruity qualities in coffees of this region. The secret to its success is in the processing: our friend coffee producer Samuel Demisse pays the hand-sorters—traditionally women in many coffee producing countries—a higher wage to select beans with exacting care. Painstakingly sorting out defective beans one at a time can take more than three times the normal rate of speed—a level of care that we finds is worth it in the cup.

We agree wholeheartedly. We love this coffee’s combination delicate yet big body and bright acidity in a floral, intense body. Truly the stuff of legend.
